Spin-off novel - sh** Steve, that's a good one - I keep my fingers crossed for you! Aren't you a mystery novelist? This could be the Big One for you if all works out.

Hey guys! Sorry, I've not been on too much the last day or so -- had to go up to LA for a bit, but guess what? I just finished a new chapter in 'Sprits of the Sky'. And, wowsers, I think y'all are going to like this one. New monster, new danger, and if I do say so myself, a very cool story. Check...
Good stuff Steve - are you pitching for Avatar 2? By the looks of it, it's not a script for sure.
As to your question, I skimmed most of your draft book / script, but how did Jake and Neytiri end up on the polar, and couldn't they just fly out on their banshees? The 'monster' looks / sounds a bit like an underground vulcanic explosion with firy blasts coming down here and there.
Who knows what or who lives in the sub-arctic regions of Pandora? Are there even such regions? ;-)
